In 2009, the International Myeloma Foundation commissioned artists, all members of the IMF community, to submit art for our new holiday cards! The result is these eight different designs sold separately in shrink-wrapped packages of eight cards for $12.00. Choose your favorite, order enough for all your friends and family, and help the IMF with every purchase.

Hanson Cards

Jeff Hanson is a young, visually impaired artist from Overland Park, Kansas. Jeff lives with a genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis. Jeff created these note cards as a gift to Karl, who has myeloma, and to myeloma research. There are six different cards to a package. Proceeds from the sale of these cards go to the IMF.

Sterling Bracelets by Sarah Klein

Sarah Klein’s father, Benson, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 1998. Sarah wants to give back to the IMF in her own creative way and has designed two special bracelets made up of semi-precious healing stones. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these bracelets is being donated to the IMF. Click on the picture to see larger views of the bracelets.

Cancer Awareness Bracelets

All of our Cancer Awareness bracelets are handcrafted with the HOPE that soon, this disease will have successful, long term treatment leading to a Complete Remission (CR) for EVERY patient with Myeloma. Each bracelet and those who wear them are touched by our thoughts and prayers. We are 100% volunteer, every bead, every charm and every minute spent is donated to the IMF. We are committed to reaching the goal of discovering that CURE!

Holiday Earrings

Looking for the perfect Christmas gift, birthday, anniversary or “Just Because You’re You” gift? Here are some items that easily fit the bill. All monies go straight to the IMF, thanks in part to the generosity of Firemountaingems.com.

Keychain

The “Nazar Boncuk” jewelry can easily be made as necklaces, earrings or, of course, the bracelets. Please email me (Pam) at A Touch of Whimsey with what you would like and I will let you know the price.

Ribbon of Hope Ornament

Whether you hang one on your holiday tree, your wall, or any other creative place you can think of, the IMF’s holiday ornament will bring a message of hope to anyone you give it to. Fashioned after the IMF’s popular Ribbon of Hope lapel pin, the 2 inch by 4 inch enameled ornament comes in a black velvet pouch with a gold ribbon tie.

Ribbon of Hope Pin

The Ribbon of Hope pin lets people know you care and will call attention to the need for action to find a cure. Making it truly distinct are the two M’s in the center of the pin and at the end of the ribbons; “MM” for multiple myeloma. 61% of the proceeds goes to support the programs and services of the IMF.
